OILING APPARATUS.

Specieation of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 24, ,1907.

Application ined June 12, i907. serai No. 378,637.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETTE N. SAYEns, a citizen of the United States,residing at Pontoosuc, in the county of Hancock and State oi Illinois,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oiling Apparatus,of which the following is a specification, reference being had thereinto the accompanying drawing.

The invention pertains to a new and useful harnessoiling apparatus, bythe use of which, harness may be oiled and after which, it is raised andsuspended from the sides of the receptacle forming a part oi the saidapparatus, so as to allow the oil adhering thereto, to drift back intothe said receptacle as will be hereinafter set forth, and clearlyillustrated in the drawings.

This invention may be also used for allowing clothes to drip or to besteamed, by raising them from the body of water that may be used insteadof oil, as will be clearly apparent from observation of the drawings,together with a slight imagination on the part of the reader oi theherein pictured invention.

This invention comprises further objects and combinations of elementswhich will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in theaccompanying drawings, and the-novel features thereof will be pointedout by the appended claims.

To obtain a full and correct understanding of the details ofconstruction, combinations oi features, elements and advantages,reference is to be had to the hereinafter set forth description and theaccompanying drawings, in connection therewith, wherein,

Figur-e 1 is a sectional view through the receptacle, in which the oilis placed to clearly illustrate the wire formed basket. Fig. 2 is across-sectional view on line 2 2 of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a detail view ofthe basket. Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view of the members, used forsuspending the basket within the receptacle. Fig. 5 is a detail view ofthe elongated plate, having a hookedformed edge.

Making renewed reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein similarreference characters indicate corresponding parts in the severalillustrations, by figures, l designates a suitable receptacle of anydesired form, in which oil is placed for the object above set forth.Designed -to be placed within the receptacle, is a basket 2, of anysuitable mesh: when it is desired to oil the harness, the same is placedwithin the basket after which it is lowered into the oil.

After it has been left there for the desired length of time, the basketis raised together with the harness,

and suspended from the sides of the receptacles, that is, the basketproper is suspended from the plates 3, which are provided withhooked-edges 4, designed to engage over the upper periphery of thereceptacle, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. These plates are provided with aplurality of apertures 5, which are engaged by the hooks G, of theT--shaped member 7, the T-shaped portion oi which, designated by thenumeral 8 engages loops 9, oi the mesh forming the basket, as will beclearly observed from the drawings, The portion intermediate theT-shaped portion and the hook, is of a coil spring character, so as toallow the basket to be yieldably suspended within the receptacle, whenit is desired to allow the harness to drip. The basket is provided withsuitable handles 9 and l0, by which the same may .be raised for thepurpose of reconnecting the hook 6 with a different set of apertures ofthe said plate.

It is to be understood that various changes and modiiications may bemade in the construction without departing from the spirit and scope ofthis invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and usefulby the protection oi Letters-Patent,

1. In a harness oiling apparatus, receptacle, a basket positionedtherein and designed at times, to be suspended within the saidreceptacle, said basket having connected thereto, T-shaped coil members,the said receptacle having hooked plates designed to engage theperiphery of said receptacle, said plates having a plurality o1'apertures, said T-shaped coil members having hooks to engage saidapertures.

2. In a harness oiling apparatus, a receptacle, a basket positionedtherein and designed at times to be suspended within the saidreceptacle, said basket having loops, T- shaped coil members to engagetherewith, said receptacle having hooked plates designed to engage theperiphery of said receptacle, said plates having a plurality ofapertures, said Tshaped coil members having hooks to engage saidapertures.

3. In a harness oiling apparatus, a receptacle, a basket positionedtherein and designed at times to be yieldably and adjustably suspendedwithin the said receptacle, said basket havingloops, T-sliaped coilmembers to engage therewith, said receptacle having hooked platesdesigned to engage the periphery thereof, said plates having a pluralityof apertures, said T-shaped coil members having hooks to engage saidapertures.

In testmony whereof I hereunto aix my signature inl presence of twowitnesses.
